For many early-career job seekers, starting their careers can be a daunting task because they are simply not competing on a level playing field.
Regardless of their talent or drive, many of the hardest-working and intelligent job candidates simply don't have access to the formal career training, education, support network, or access to top-notch opportunities due to a host of socioeconomic barriers.
There are inherent barriers present in modern applicant tracking systems (ATS).
According to a recent Harvard Business study, millions of qualified job seekers are erroneously rejected by resume screening software each day. This is a fact worth pondering on: millions are being rejected by robots.
In the current global talent shortage, ATS technology has yet to catch up. It’s become biased and tends to exclude women, first-generation and minority candidates, creating a massive black hole between qualified, diverse candidates and the employers who badly need to hire them.
